    Smith is just too much of a puncher and Benavidez is too hittable.

    I don't think Benavidez even has much of a punchers chance tbh.

    Smith is nearly the total package. His biggest weaknesses are getting bored and switching off in fights and I think he should throw more punches.

    Against Groves some had him behind, yet he was boxing Groves ears off. Groves was just out hustling him for the most part and the rounds were hard to score. Depends what you like but Smith would have been well ahead if he threw more punches. I can see an iron chinned Gilberto out working Smith tbh, but Smith would be landing all of the harder, cleaner punches.

    Maybe not stripped(it's his first offense). But he should be punished.

    Benavidez outworks Smith and wins a comfortable, probably wide decision.

    Callum smashes the coked up Mexican so bad we never see him again after Trump builds the wall.

    I think what he or anyone does for fun in their free time is their own business.

    Oscar De La hoya puts rolling pins inside him in front of hookers whilst taking coke, should he be banned from boxing too? What people do in their own time is their business.

    Because Benavidez just ran through Gavril. CST you and I have been in Benavidez's RBR for YEARS. Remember how Benavidez looked against Douglin? The Gavril fight was not a fluke. Porky was just a perfect style for him. Smtih will beat Benavidez down.

    That would be epic if it happened next.

    I imagine there'll be a "unification" against Fielding first.

    Just like he beat Skoglund and Holzken down too right? Callum Smith is just as overrated as you think Benavidez is. Gavril is tough as nails and a legit talent, I did a thread on him a while back, long before the Benavidez match, and is easily Holzken/Skoglund level, so of you want to make something out of that, then you have to make something out of Callum's struggles with them and Rebrasse.:deal:

    Most of us and I'm pretty sure including you had Douglin up against Benavidez for most of the fight. Was Smith down against any of them? Gavril arguably drew with Benavidez on a lot of people's cards. Callum hasn't looked spectacular in all of his fights but he's clearly won them. You sure you're not saying Benavidez beats him because he beat Groves? If he beats Benavidez what then lol.
